Finca Deborah Afterglow is a traditional naturally processed Geisha. Afterglowstarts with a meticulous harvesting practice where only the ripest, intact cherries are  These cherries are quickly brought to the dry-house for post selection on the top level of Deborah’s 3-tiered African beds system designed by Jamison Savage. While on the top level a certain depth of the cherriesis required to prevent over-fermentation and off flavors. Frequent agitation of thecherries is required during the first several days in order to minimize any possibleopportunity for a fungal bloom and constant monitoring of temperatures, airflow, aswell as humidity inside the dry-houses are critical.
